Ooooo absolutely. Ask your midwife about a hospital tour. I can't believe it hasn't been offered. This is my second. First was in Epsom, and we had a group tour of the hospital. I thelps to put your mind at rest just knowing what is there if it is needed.
My dd was born by emergency caesarean due to failed induction and foetal distress. I hadn't even considered the possibility that I would have a caesarean. But, I have no fear of suregery, so when the midwife was calling the consultant in because the heart rate was dropping, I was more than happy to sign that paper... which I don't believe should be legal binding when youcondier all the drugs I was on. :-)
Anyway, this time I very much want a caesarean... but I'm expecting resistance. We'll see....
